PAB21X

Powerline AB Bench

3 items left

A plate-loaded ab bench that delivers full-range abdominal resistance — a curved pre-stretch back pad, a smooth 30°-to-30° motion and a sealed ball-bearing pulley — for a stronger, more efficient core (and triceps too).

The Powerline PAB21X AB Bench lets you perform sit-ups and crunches easily, effectively and safely with full-range abdominal resistance. Add weight plates for progressive overload and build a six-pack and tight, toned obliques in less than half the time of many other systems.

  • Full-range resistance: a plate-loaded motion that adjusts from 30° back of centre to 30° forward of centre for the ultimate in comfort and efficiency.
  • Stronger contraction: a curved back pad places you in an automatic pre-stretch position for a more intense abdominal contraction.
  • Smooth movement: an extra-wide, sealed ball-bearing pulley gives complete freedom of movement for every core muscle group, including the obliques.
  • More than abs: also performs triceps extensions with ease.
  • Built to last: a sturdy 2″×3″ four-side-welded mainframe; lightweight and easy to move.
  • Takes Standard or Olympic plates and is backed by a 10-year frame warranty.

Achieve a six-pack and toned, tight obliques in less than half the time of many other systems. The curved back is specially designed to place you in an automatic pre-stretch position, and the full-range motion adjusts from 30° back of centre to 30° forward of centre for comfort and efficiency. The back pad is infinitely adjustable for a customised, safe workout no matter your size, and you can perform triceps extensions in addition to your abdominal work. For smooth operation and freedom of movement, the ball-bearing pulley is both extra-wide and sealed. It’s lightweight and easily moved (some assembly required).

Powerline — strength training at its best.

How is this different from a seated ab crunch bench?
The PAB21X is plate-loaded: you add weight plates for progressive resistance through a full 30°-to-30° range, with a curved pre-stretch pad for a stronger contraction. Our Best Fitness BFAB20B is the comfortable seated, mostly bodyweight option instead.

What plates does it take?
Both Standard and Olympic weight plates, which are sold separately.

What exercises can I do?
Full-range ab crunches that also hit the obliques, plus triceps extensions.

Does it need assembly?
Some assembly is required. It’s lightweight (14 kg) and easy to move around.

Is it suitable for a gym or just home?
It carries a light-commercial rating, so it suits studios and clinics as well as home gyms.

What warranty does it come with?
A 10-year frame warranty and 1-year parts warranty.

Where does it ship from and how is it delivered?
It ships free from our Adelaide warehouse (Woodville North, SA 5012) in a single box. Orders are dispatched the next business day, with delivery typically 3–8 business days to metropolitan areas.

Great for small fitness centres, personal training studios, physio clinics and a more advanced home gym setting.
